Power + attitude = performance only when not stalled!
It should have been more obvious to them that they were stalled, full forward stick PLUS forward manual trim was required as the autotrim probably wound in full back stabiliser.
Not enough pilots see effective stall training in any aircraft.
By that I mean NOT immediately recovering but holding in full backstick for some time and then reducing AoA to recover and feeling/seeing the results.
Too many instructors are scared of stalls/spins.
The junior F/O who kept pulling backstick was a huge part of this crash!
Airbus would have shown dual imput at times but not having a visual que for the other pilots as to the fact he was holding in full backstick was also a huge factor.
